Summary:For use in progressive image compression,
these techniques generate a wide variety of image rendering styles,
ranging from a hand-painted look to an inlay mosaic, by applying
geometric subdivision as well as parametric procedural textures
to Voronoi spatial partitions. This approach of image reconstruction
from scattered color samples provides for an efficient multiresolution
image representation.

Summary:VoronoImage is a program for the
Macintosh which demonstrates an application of computational
geometry to rendering a picture into an image resembling a stained
glass panel. The technique works through generating a partition
tree representing a fractal arrangement of discreet Voronoi diagrams,
where each Voronoi polygon is recursively subdivided into a Voronoi
diagram. The Voronoi diagrams are calculated using a fast Euclidean
distance mapping algorithm.
